At CARE, we are ready to respond immediately. Thanks to our long-standing presence in Afghanistan and our local teams, we are able to deliver essential aid quickly and effectively – even to remote villages cut off by the disaster. We also ensure that support reaches families directly. Not authorities, but real people now surviving among the rubble.

“People need shelter, food, clean water, warm clothing, medicine, and basic cooking supplies,” says Deepmala Mahla, CARE’s Regional Director for Humanitarian Response.

Our teams include women, which allows us to reach those who are most vulnerable – women and girls who, due to cultural barriers, often remain out of reach for male responders.
